Greater Sacramento League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Aubrey Stewart Leads Fairfield over Burbank
Aubrey Stewart produced her most outstanding game to date while leading Fairfield to the win on Thursday. Stewart rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of her passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards she has had since back in September. She has become a key player for Fairfield: the team is undefeated when she posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 3-4 otherwise.
Burbank's probably not too fond of Stewart given she always seems to get the better of them. Stewart rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 183 yards and two touchdowns the last time she and the Titans duked it out back in September.

Sariah Williams Dazzles in Fairfield Win
Sariah Williams was instrumental in extending Fairfield's winning streak to eight on Thursday. Williams was dynamite, rushing for 140 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also picking up 76 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Her longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain her lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Williams could be in store for another big game when she takes on Johnson on Thursday. When Williams last faced the Warriors back in September, she rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.

Jaleia Ware Puts an End to Armijo's Losing Streak on Thursday
Armijo's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jaleia Ware. Ware was unstoppable on Thursday, picking up 107 receiving yards and three touchdowns. She also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions which she returned for a touchdown.
The win got Armijo back to even at 7-7. Ware and Armijo will challenge West Campus at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Gamescore: 51.95
Valley found a leader in Deyonce Espinal as the squad took down West Campus on Thursday. Espinal was dynamite, making two total tackles and defending two passes. She also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Valley is 3-1 when she posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 5-6 otherwise.
West Campus had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Espinal it was a similar story. When Espinal last faced the Warriors back in September, she made a tackle and snagged four interceptions.

Peyton Brown Makes It Two for Armijo

For the year, Brown has thrown 27 touchdowns while averaging 152.2 passing yards per game.
